How to install Personal Media Drive (hd5000s) in computer running Windows 8

I would like to use my old Personal Media Drive (hd5000s) with my new computer that runs Windows 8. The computer does not recognize the drive. I need a download or driver to use the drive.

Have the same problem, several HP personal media drives from dead HP Vista PC's & want to access on new Windows 8 PC's. Can't believe more people not facing same problem. Would a generic W8 driver work?

Why No Support For HP hd7500s Personal Media Drive?

I have a Personal Media Drive hd7500s (750 gb), installed in the equipment bay, that my HP Pavillion has stopped recognizing. There is power to the drive as indicated by the lights on the front. General Troubleshooting info at this site suggests I attempt to hook it up as an external drive, using the USB connection. Before I can, however, the USB port on the back of the personal media drive appears to have a plastic protective cap on the USB contacts; but I am wary of using any more plier force than I've already applied to remove this unsuccessfully. So I went to this site looking for tech data on my drive.
No matter how many different ways I enter the SKU, the model number, even the serial number of this HP Personal Media Drive, the search returns nothing. What gives??

Apparently HP does not offer support for this device. Seems pretty bad as I purchased mine about a year ago and if I had known HP was not going to support it I would not have purchased it....SUPRISE, I guess that is why they did not tell me!!!

Personal Media Drive won't work when inside Elite Desktop

I have a 4 month old 1 TB Pesonal Media Drive installed inside my Elite Series Desktop.
I was flagged by my Acronis backup saying there were bad sectors and it would not allow incremental automatic backups.
I ran Hardware Diagnostic test..and it reported surface scan errors on the new Personal Media Drive.
I removed it from the Elite series bay, and connected it like a normal external hard drive via USB connections.
I ran the same test and it passed. It reported no problems whatsoever...so I am wondering why it only fails when inside the internal bay?

Adobe CC 2014 v8.1
iMac 27" 3.4GHz w/12GB Ram.
OS 10.9.5
OWC Mercutry ELite Pro Dual.
RAID 0
Thunderbolt.
No adapters or daisy chaining going on.
The RAID is new and only has about 700GB of data on it.
I read on Creative Cow that alexojedav522 was able to figure out that the size of the drive was his issue:
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/954245
After reading that I tried repartitioning my RAID into two sections of 2tb each (let's call them Partition1 and Partition2).
So Partition1 is just the original partition (which was 4TB) shrunken down to 2TB.
Partition2 is the brand new partition.
Oddly enough, I can access Partition2 via Media Browser just fine.
And when I move media onto it I can relink it as well).
But Partition1 is still not accessible via Premiere at all.
I am currently moving everything off of Partition1 and onto Partition2, so that I can at least relink my project and get to work.
But obviously that isn't a permanent solution.

HP Personal Media Drive - need to check for drivers but can't find Win8 drivers

Tried to access drivers for Personal Media Drive but the Win 8 OS is not listed. How do I find if there are new drivers for my HD10000z?

As this device does have an external power supply, I would first attach that. Hold up to ear, and verify it spins continuous.
If it spins, plug in the USB to a rear port. It may take 5 minutes for it to initialize. If you hear click(s) and then no continuous spin, it's likely bricked/dead. HP offers no repair service for out-of-warranty units. (1 year).
disassembly (different flavors for different design cases). Adapter for the device.

If you simply mean a USB flash drive, or a USB hard drive. There should be no installation requirements. If the drive doesn't show up in Finder, you should check whether Disk Utility sees it, and whether the drive has a Mac readable filesystem. Disk Utility can be found with spotight if you do not know where it is.

Personal media drive locks xp

the personal drive is put in the bay and is picked up by my computer,then xp locks up until PMD is removed. have not been able to use the PMD. HELPLEASE.

A operating system freezing when a device is connected and the same operating system working without issue as long as the device is not conected indicates that there is a problem with the device.
Your personal media drive appears to have a problem.
It would help if you identified your HP desktop PC with its complete product name and product number. Look on the PC for a service tag. The service tag will have that information. post it here.
Best regards,
erico

HP Personal Media Drive hd0000 Not Loading

Hi can anyone please help
I have a HP Personal Media Center M7000 PC on windows XP.
It comes with a Personal Media Drive HD0000.
I have always kept the media drive in its internal docking station within the PC as it can be removed by sliding the cassette in and out of the body of the PC.
I recently had start up issues with my PC where it was failing to boot. After removing the the media drive the pc is back in working order without any problems but ever since the media drive is failing to load.
I have tried to load it in its docking station and via USB with this PC and i have also tried to load it via USB with a laptop i have on windows 7.
The media drive has some very personal items on it so can anyone please help me thank you in advance
UPDATE i have tried to connect the drive to my laptop on windows 7 and it does not load but it is now showing up instead of showing up under the computer section it shows up under control panel/ hardware and sound/ printer and devices. But it still will not load ARRRRGHHH any advice please thank you

One should be able to see the files on the HP Personal Media drive, if it still works. With the drive out of the bay, it requires a USB cable and a power connection. Examine the back of the drive. You will see a power connection right next to the USB connector. HERE is some info on the adapter but it does not have to be that one exactly. Any 12vDC 1 to 2 Amp supply that fits the jack should be able to power it.
BTW: if the drive was causing problems in the drive pocket on the WinXP PC, it could have a problem.

How can I install my Adobe Photoshop on my computer with Windows XP Service Pack 3?

How can I install my Adobe Photoshop on my computer with Windows XP Service Pack 3? Seriously frustrated. I put the disc in the drive and nothing happens. I open up add/remove programs and I get an error message stating it can't find a disc. I chatted with Adobe support, and they decided to send me here. Probably because they knew I wanted to spend all day online trying to figure this out.

Download from Adobe's website, install then enter your serial number.

I have Fujitsu scanner Gi-5110c that came with acrobat 7 standard. I just purchased new desktop computer but I can't find my acrobat 7 standard driver cd. I like to know how I can download the driver to my computer.

Because it was valuable software it was never downloadable; also it was a special "OEM" version that could I think only be installed from that CD.
Acrobat 7 doesn't work properly on Windows 7 and later anyway.

I am having a issue installing Adobe Acrobat XI. I am running Windows 8.1. When go to install it gets an error. The error is with transform in registry and will not install product. I am looking at how I can fix this registry problem.

I have tried to uninstall all Abode Acrobat installations but one file remains and refuses to be uninstalled. It gives me this error : Error applying Transforms . Verify that specified paths are valid. It was installed on Sept 18 2014. I have downloaded a Transform update but it tells I do not have a Adobe Acrobat product installed.

Hi all,
Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
Please help !
Regards,
Vipul
